Red Deer City RCMP want to speak with the male driver of a gold Jeep Cherokee who may have witnessed the downtown incident where a 29-year-old Red Deer man was shot last week.

Police believe the driver may have valuable information about the shooting on July 4.

The jeep was parked on the south side of 54th Street at the time of the shooting around 7:30 p.m.

The driver is asked to call the Red Deer City RCMP at 403-343-5575.

On July 4, police responded to a complaint of gun shots in the area around 49th Avenue and 54th Street. An altercation between two groups of people is believed to have sparked the incident.

One of the groups fled on foot south on 54th Street, past the Red Deer Mohawk gas station, followed by the victim and three other men.

Several shots were fired and a 29-year-old man was shot in the torso. The victim and three other men left in a gold or beige coloured Chrysler 300, which was parked on the north side of the Mohawk. The victim was dropped off at the Red Deer Regional Hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries. He was later transferred to a hospital in Edmonton. He has since been released from hospital.

Police continue to investigate. If you have any information about this incident, please call Red Deer City RCMP at 403-343-5575 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.tipsubmit.com
